City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Final EIR Errata FirstCarbon Solutions 3-25 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480022/EIR/4 - Final EIR/21480022 Sec03-00 Errata.docx The Housing Element Update would allow for projected population growth; however, for the reasons discussed throughout this impact analysis, it would not be unplanned. The Housing Element Update is a policy-level planning document that includes policies related to the development of a range of housing options, meets the City’s housing needs with diverse household types and addresses housing insecurity. As growth occurs, housing would serve all income levels, including very low-, low-, moderate-, and above-moderate-income residents and special needs residents. The increase in affordable housing is intended to provide opportunities for residents already living within the city rather than create new housing for people outside the city. The City affords preference in administration of its affordable housing programs to persons living and/or working in Pleasanton, in an effort to provide as many opportunities as possible for residents already living within the city; therefore a significant portion of the new affordable housing created would house existing versus new residents. Page 3.12-18, First Paragraph In response to FOOTHILL-5 and to provide clarification, the following paragraph has been revised: The Housing Element Update would result in a significant impact if it would displace substantial numbers of people or existing housing which would require the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. None of the potential sites for rezoning include existing housing, except for Sites 1 (Lester), 11 (Old Santa Rita Area), and 22 (Merritt). Site 1 (Lester) includes two existing single-family homes, Site 22 (Merritt) includes one two single-family homes, and Site 11 (Old Santa Rita Area) includes five non-conforming apartment units. It is unlikely that the homes on Site 22 (Merritt) would be demolished. The proposed Housing Element could result in the demolition of the existing single-family homes and apartments on Sites 1 (Lester) and 11 (Old Santa Rita Area). Assuming 2.99 persons per household for the single-family homes, a low-density housing type, and 2.2 persons per household factor for the condominiums, a high-density housing type, it is assumed the existing residential uses on the potential sites for rezoning currently house 17 residents. In addition, pursuant to Program 3.6 of the Housing Element Update, the City would be required to replace housing units that are demolished with units affordable to the same or lower-income levels as a condition of development. Furthermore, implementation of the Housing Element Update would result in the development of additional housing units at all affordability levels to support the city’s growing population and future housing demands, as specified in the RHNA, by rezoning all or some of the potential sites for rezoning to accommodate housing development. Therefore, development of housing facilitated by the Housing Element Update would not displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing and would instead build housing on infill sites with access to existing infrastructure and public services.
